I love Puerto Galera. It's the closest paradise I can get to from Manila. And it's also my only refuge during the darkest moments of my (love) life.

I can't tell much of what happened in Puerto Galera. The whole trip simply whizzed by and everything was a blur. Don't get me wrong, Puerto Galera is beautiful. I was just in a state of melancholy then to appreciate the white sandy beach, the multi-colored corals, the calm waves and very supportive friends, making it all the more depressing. Sigh! 

Let's see... My friends and I boarded a Tritan Bus in Kamias, Quezon City bound for Batangas City. 3 hours later, we arrived at the Batangas City Port and bought tickets for a fast craft bound for Puerto Galera. We stayed at the White Beach Lodge, which was only P 250 at that time. The cottage was pretty cheap considering that it's at the beachfront (August kasi no'n!).

Our first day was spent lounging by the beach side and roaming around White Beach. Our second day was spent island hopping. We didn't stayed long at Puerto Galera, so by late afternoon of our second day, we were on our way back to Batangas City... Back to Manila... Back to reality.
